🚀 feat: Complete REST API endpoints for proof management

📝 Description

This pull request implements comprehensive REST API endpoints for proof creation, verification, and management with proper error handling and security measures as specified in issue #3.

✨ Features Implemented

Core Functionality

  • ✅ Proof Creation Endpoint - Create new cryptographic proofs with full validation
  • ✅ Proof Verification Endpoint - Verify proofs using hash and/or Stellar blockchain verification
  • ✅ User Proof Management - Query, filter, and paginate user proofs
  • ✅ Batch Proof Operations - Perform bulk operations (verify, delete, update) on multiple proofs
  • ✅ Rate Limiting and Security - Multi-tier rate limiting and input validation
  • ✅ API Documentation - Comprehensive documentation with examples
  • ✅ Error Handling - Comprehensive error handling with proper HTTP status codes

Security Features

  • Multi-tier rate limiting (general, creation, verification, batch operations)
  • Input validation using express-validator
  • Hash integrity verification
  • Expiration date handling
  • Stellar address format validation
  • UUID validation for user and proof IDs

🎯 Acceptance Criteria Met

✅ GIVEN proof creation request, WHEN received, THEN creates and stores proof

  • Implemented with full validation
  • Hash integrity verification
  • Proper error handling
  • Returns created proof with metadata

✅ GIVEN verification request, WHEN made, THEN returns proof validity

  • Multiple verification methods (hash, Stellar, both)
  • Updates proof status accordingly
  • Handles expired proofs
  • Returns verification results

✅ GIVEN user query, WHEN requested, THEN returns user's proofs

  • Filtering by user ID and other criteria
  • Pagination support
  • Sorting options
  • Performance optimized

✅ GIVEN batch request, WHEN processed, THEN handles multiple operations

  • Supports verify, delete, update operations
  • Returns detailed success/failure results
  • Proper error handling for individual items

✅ GIVEN rate limit, WHEN exceeded, THEN returns proper error response

  • Multi-tier rate limiting implemented
  • Clear error messages with retry information
  • Different limits for different operation types

🔧 API Endpoints

Proof Management

  • POST /api/proofs - Create new proof (rate limited: 10/min)
  • GET /api/proofs/:id - Get specific proof
  • PUT /api/proofs/:id - Update proof
  • DELETE /api/proofs/:id - Delete proof
  • POST /api/proofs/:id/verify - Verify proof (rate limited: 30/min)

Query & Operations

  • GET /api/proofs - Get user proofs with filtering/pagination
  • POST /api/proofs/batch - Batch operations (rate limited: 5/5min)
  • GET /api/proofs/stats - Get proof statistics

🛡️ Security Implementation

Rate Limiting

  • General API: 100 requests/15 minutes
  • Proof Creation: 10 requests/minute
  • Proof Verification: 30 requests/minute
  • Batch Operations: 5 requests/5 minutes

Input Validation

  • Stellar address format validation (56 characters, starts with 'G')
  • UUID validation for user and proof IDs
  • Hash format validation (64-128 hex characters)
  • Date validation for expiration dates
  • JSON schema validation for request bodies
